South Mountain Community College Reviews
1 Review Submitted For South Mountain Community College
- Reviewed on: March 13, 2012
Flag Review - Rating:
- The college has been a good choice for me. From day one, everyone has been helpful and nice. Students and faculty alike are awesome. I feel very at ease here and like that they have a ton of clubs for students to join. Just take some time to learn about each one. You are bound to find one or two or three that suit your needs. They have a public library where you can actually rent study rooms in! I have a group that meets every other week here and it's very convenient. We bring our own food and drinks in and can study for hours here.
